The three remaining openings for the regular season will be determined through two qualifiers. Two teams will earn slots in the first qualifier June 4-5, with the final team emerging from the June 6-7 qualifier.

Qualifiers are open to any team with a minimum of three players residing in these locations: Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.

The regular season will be a best-of-two round-robin format from June 18 to July 12, with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs. The playoffs (July 15-19) will be a double-elimination bracket. All playoff matches are best-of-three except the best-of-five grand final.
